The second most important thing in your life


It’s weekend.

You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD!

​

You’ve heard me saying it before.

The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is…

​

​

​

​

Ahh… let me add something.

​

The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is…

​

​

The place you live.

​

​

Yes, sorry.

Very simple.

​

Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US.

​

If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services.

Very limited.

Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing.

Limited.

​

But let me tell you the second most important thing…

​

And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500…

​

But, it’s your partner.

​

Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day.

If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math.

Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology.

According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000.

Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets.

When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life:

Better financial outcomes

Higher net worth

More emotional resilience

A stronger foundation for your kids

Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression.

​

Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced…

​

Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or…

People mess up with debt. I mean. Not the same to have debt to buy assets that produce cash flow that assets that eat your cash. Then, a €70.000 car, or $70.000, I don’t mind, bought on instalments is not a means of transportation: it’s a sentence with a steering wheel. It might have 300 horsepower, that new leather smell, and a logo that turns heads at traffic lights, but at the end of the day, it’s still just that: a burden you carry with you everywhere. The perfect symbol of financial...

The world is on fire. 98% of investors have lost money in the past few days. And that’s OK. This is why when I was asked on Wednesday if “should I sell now”, my answer was… What are you talking about? Look. We've all read dozens of 'influencers' suggesting that investing €500 a month in the S&P 500 will make you rich in 20 years. The stock market only goes up. And to some extent, they might be right, but I don't like that extreme volatility dependent on a few overly powerful individuals. For...

These days of Trumpmania, tariffarias, panicism, etc, many people have asked for my opinion. What I think about the stock market. About Trump. About China. About Putin and Zelen. The next WW3. And so on. Look. I stop worrying about news out there long time ago. I don’t have time for that. So I having been paying too much attention. But I can tell you something. I’m watching. Observing carefully. While other panic. Press the sell button. I just observe. People get worried. Very worried....
